About

Ancestral Medicine is a dynamic learning organization with a diverse global audience. Through online courses, in-person intensives, and a professional network of certified practitioners, we seek to help humans rekindle relationships with Earth, ancestors, and self in ways that also encourage cultural healing.

All of our teachings exist at the crossroads of ritual, psychology, and social systems; all our work is grounded in psychology and ritual safety.

Our online courses run the gamut from foundational ritual and ancestral healing skills to deeper dives into ways of connecting with the other-than-human world. Most of our offerings include practices to support work for systemic and cultural change. You might think of us as non-dogmatic, pragmatic spirituality school for healer folks, smart-saavy skeptics, and activist types.

Embodied in animist and anti-supremacist ethics, we actively acknowledge the personhood of our other-than-human kin (e.g., animals, plants, mountains, and rivers). We acknowledge that cultural healing is the work of many lifetimes, and we nonetheless commit to uprooting and healing diverse manifestations of supremacy – as people, as an organization, and as a network of ritualists.

Requirements

Standard of acceptance for each therapies
Initial acceptance into our Ancestral Healing: Practitioner Training requires completion and approval of an in-depth application, a live interview, and three ritual prerequisites. The ritual prerequisites are: 1) completing a live run of our 12-week Ancestral Lineage Healing course, 2) completing at least four private sessions with an ALH practitioner from Ancestral Medicine’s practitioner directory, and 3) confirming at least two lineages in healthy/healed condition using the ALH framework. Completion of certification requirements includes three multi-week practice intensives (live practice with peers); two interim training periods (live training calls, mentorship meetings, supervisions, peer exchanges); confirmation of at least 4 lineages in healed condition as per this methodology; and a certification phase (40+ client sessions, including a case study). Practitioners are certified to hold Ancestral Lineage Healing sessions as taught by Dr. Daniel Foor. Maintaining certification requires biennial membership renewal (see CPD requirements, below). As we are not an accredited institution, certification is available regardless of location. Certification is a professional agreement between trainees and Ancestral Medicine regarding standards of practice, responsiveness to clients, pricing accessibility, and maintaining right relationship with one's ancestors, teachers, and professional community.
CPD requirements
Membership renewal for Ancestral Medicine’s network of practitioners occurs every two years via an online form provided by A.M. For trainees not yet certified, this includes 5 CEUs (some of which may be trainings specifically provided by Ancestral Medicine during the renewal period) and a 1-hour private session with a certified practitioner (at the practitioner’s hourly rate). For certified practitioners, this includes 10 CEUs (some of which may be trainings specifically provided by Ancestral Medicine during the renewal period).
